If you loved The Secret life of words, try Elisa & Marcela
Un pont entre un film que tu as déjà vu et un que peu de gens ont croisé. Voici ce qu'ils partagent, et ce que le second fait que le premier ne fait pas.
Ce qu'ils partagent
Both films are directed by Isabel Coixet, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Secret life of words, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
